9、项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIt was only a dollar. Belscher noticed it on the floor as he sat at the back of his English class. When the school day ended, Belscher wandered back to the classroom. The old bill was still there. He could easily have pocketed it without thinking twice. Instead, he picked it up and br
10、ought it to his English teacher, Mattison.“It wasnt my money,” Belscher says. Mattison was a little surprised hed turned the dollar in, knowing a lot of people would have just kept it. She suggested that Belscher tape(贴) it to the whiteboard at the front of the classroom, where she always puts lost
11、things. Rose, another student, was in English class after break when he spotted the dollar on the whiteboard. After class, he asked Mattison why it was there. She was still waiting for the original owner to claim it, so she replied, “I dont know.” Rose took the tape from Mattisons desk and taped a s
12、econd dollar to the board.That got it rolling. The sight of the two dollar bills, side by side, started something in Mattisons students. They started asking about the purpose of the money, to which Mattison always gave the same answer: She didnt know. At that point, it was true.More students, curiou
13、s, taped up single dollar bills. Mattison started to leave the tape on the tray of the whiteboard. The effort snowballed. Even with no clear purpose, many students wanted to be part of whatever this was. The amount continued to grow over several weeks, until it reached $175.76. That left Mattison to
14、 make the best decision. She kept thinking about her brother-in-law, Jack Hains. Eight years earlier, Jack had died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare and devastating neurological disease(神经疾病). Mattison explained to her classes that Jack had raised money every spring for the ALS Therapy
15、 Development Institute, established to seek a cure for the disease. She asked the teens whether they minded if she donated the dollars in their names in honor of Jack.Their answer was to tape enough money to the whiteboard over the next few days to push the amount to $321.06. Mattison, choking back
16、tears as she recalls the moment, says she carefully picked the cash off the board and made the donation just before the beginning of May, which is National ALS Awareness Month. That was Saturday. By Monday afternoon, eight more dollars had been taped to the board.21. When Belscher first found a doll
17、ar bill, .A. he returned it to its owner B. he donated it to the school C. he handed it in to the teacherD. he picked it up and pocketed it22. What happened after Rose taped a second dollar on the whiteboard?A. The money was stolen by someone.B. More and more students did the same.C. The whiteboard
18、was no longer used for class.D. The teacher asked the students to find the owner.23. The teacher decided to donate the money to ALS institute because .A. Jack had asked her to do so.B. she had been cured of the disease before.C. the students had no idea of the deadly disease.D. she wanted to help th
19、ose who suffered from ALS.24. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The students supported the teachers donation.B. Only eight dollars were left on the whiteboard.C. The teacher returned all the money to the students.D. There would be no more money to be taped to the board.BYou probably know
20、the basics of how comparatives(比较级) and superlatives(最高级) work in the English language. When comparing something, you often add an “-er” to the end of the comparative adjective. The general rule is that one-syllable(音节) words get the suffix(后缀), and polysyllabic words get “more” or “most.” That is,
21、unless the two-syllable word ends in a “y”; if thats the case, you will add the suffixes and change the “y” to an “i”. But what about the word “fun”? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so youd think youd add suffixes on it to create superlatives. But if you were to say “I think Magic Kingd
22、om is a funner park than Epcot.” or “Disney World was the funnest vacation ever!” you might get some strange looks. It doesnt sound quite right. Butwhy? “Fun” is one syllable, so why do we choose “more fun” as the comparativeespecially considering that the similar word “funny,” which has more syllab
23、les than “fun,” uses the suffixes with no problem?Well, the problem comes from the fact that the word “fun” was not originally an adjective. Until the early 19th century, it was mostly just a noun, and it gained its meaning as “amusement” in the 18th century. But as early as the 1800s, people began
24、using it as an adjective, the way wed describe “a fun time” or “a fun place” today.Basically, language is still developing. Grammarians have mostly come around to the use of “fun” as an adjective (though some dictionaries still call it informal). There was (and remains) an agreement of “Fine, you ca
25、n use fun as an adjectivebut, like, its not really one, so it cant follow the rules of real adjectives.” So they also agree that the answer to “is funner a word?” is yes. If you want to consider “fun,” as an adjective, then “funner” is indeed a word, as is “funnest”. But this doesnt mean that “more
26、fun” and “most fun” are incorrect, though; in fact, in formal writing, youll probably still want to use those instead of “funner” and “funnest.”The English language is chock-full of uncertain grammar rules; theres no need to insist that a word breaks the common rules of language just because we didn
27、t used to use it in a way we do now.25. How do comparatives and superlatives work in the English language?A. Put “more” or “most” before one-syllable adjectives.B. Add “-er” or “-est” to most polysyllabic adjectives.C. Put “more” or “most” before polysyllabic adjectives.D. Add “-er” or “-est” straig
28、ht to two-syllable words ending in a “y”. 26. People didnt used to use “funner” or “funnest” partly because .A. it sounded strange to grammariansB. the English language changed a littleC. the word was originally used as a nounD. some dictionaries considered it incorrect27. What can be the best title
29、 of the passage? A. Is “funner” a word?B. A general rule of English grammar.C. The development of English language.D. The comparatives and superlatives of adjectives.CThe love story between John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, was far from perfect and was tragically cut short in 1963 by a snipers(狙
30、击手) bullet.On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was seated beside his smartly dressed wife, who was wearing a pink Chanel-like suit and matching pillbox hat and holding an armful of red roses that had been presented to her by fans. They were seated in the back seat of a dark blue 1961 Lin
31、coln with John Connally, the Governor of Texas and his wife, Nellie. And then came the dark moment. As the motorcade(车队) passed the Texas School Book Depository on Elm Street, a loud noiselike the sound of a firecrackercracked the air. President Kennedy slumped(耷拉) forward, Jackie putting her arms a
32、round him. The look on her husbands face after he was shot would haunt Jackie for the rest of her life. The last words she ever got to say to him were, “I love you, Jack. I love you,” according to Anderson, although Jackie herself recalled it slightly differently in a 1963 interview. All the way to
33、Parkland Hospital, where President Kennedy would eventually be pronounced dead, as she recalled it, she was bent over him, asking “Jack, Jack, can you hear me? I love you.”Jack Kennedys final words to his wife of 10 years were far more mundane, of course. He had no way of knowing what was about to h
34、appen. Its been reported that Jacks final words were, “My God, Ive been hit,” but physicians have said this was impossible given Jacks injuries. Well, historians have now clarified that the last words Jack spoke before the fatal shot were, “No, you certainly cant.”No, you certainly cant?He was makin
35、g small talk in the car. “You certainly cant say that the people of Dallas havent given you a nice welcome,” the Texas Governors wife had just remarked to Jack, referring to the huge, adoring crowd. “No, you certainly cant,” Jack replied, milliseconds before the bullet from Lee Harvey Oswald gun str
36、uck. John F. Kennedy never spoke another word after that fateful day, but many things he said during his lifetime are incredibly inspiring. 28. When the gunshot incident happened, .A. it suddenly went into darknessB. Kennedy was giving a speech to his fansC. the motorcade was on the way to Parkland
37、HospitalD. Kennedy and his wife were seated next to each other29. The underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 5 probably means .A. unforgettableB. ordinaryC. excellentD. humorous30. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The peoples love for Kennedy.B. The love story of Kennedy and his wife.C. Th
38、e final words before Kennedy was murdered.D. The inspiring speeches during Kennedys lifetime.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for healthy travel with childrenChildren make up a small but important group of travellers.

49、Peety weighed 75 pounds when a healthy 46 for him was more like 50 pounds. But on our first walk together, Peety took the lead. We made it halfway down the 47 and then came back.

Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates. Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each othe
60、r. Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt. Because of the movements of these plates, California, China and Japan have a lot of earthquakes. You can see the result in San Francisco where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate. When the 1906 eart
61、hquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5 to 6 metres to the north.China is a country where many earthquakes happen. The Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from the southwest. The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount Qomolongma. It
62、now causes earthquakes in China. We cannot stop earthquakes but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy whole cities. First it is not a good idea to build houses along the line where two plates meet. Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, make sure to build houses on rock rather
63、than sand. Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may stay up._荆州中学2019-2020学年上学期期中考试高一年级 英语试题答案听力（共两节,每题1.5分，满分30分）1-5 BCBCC 610 CACBA 11-15 BABAC 16-20 AACBA阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节 （每题2.5分，满分25分）21-24 CBDA 25-27 CCA 28-30 D
